Apply to meet Scheppy today!   Adoption Fee: $450We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433   ***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time, we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians. Our Weight Classes are as follows: 0- 25lbs - Small 26- 45lbs - Medium 46-89 - Large 90+ X-large If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following: Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped. If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs once they're at least 6 months old. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months, they will need to be spayed/neutered by your veterinarian when they are between 6 to 8 months old. Proof that the spay/neuter has been completed will need to be submitted to Tailwaggers911. Once proof of the spay/neuter has been received, we will refund $100 of your adoption fee via Venmo, PayPal or have a check in the mail within 15 days. Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home. If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home. If a dog is listed as ADOPTION IN PROCESS, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out. December 4, 2025, 5:01 pm

Story
Say hello to Max, our fiery-haired sweetheart from the Stranger Things crew — though unlike her namesake, this girl is all softness, no skateboard. Max came to us as a stray through MADACC, so we don’t know her past, but she’s ready to build a bright future with a family of her own. Max is a long-haired German Shepherd puppy with a gentle spirit. She’s a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a moment to warm up and she melts right into you. With some time to decompress and a bit of confidence building, she’s well on her way to becoming someone’s devoted shadow. She does wonderfully with other dogs and is great with kids. With proper, slow introductions, she’s also likely to do well with cats, making her a lovely fit for a variety of homes. Max is sweet, snuggly, and eager to find the humans who will help her come out of her shell. If you’re looking for a companion who will reward patience with unwavering loyalty, Max is your girl. *Max is available as a foster-to-adopt to a family within 30 min of Madison until her spay is completed. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.sftsrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
Meet Dustin, the brave little explorer of our Stranger Things group — minus the supernatural monsters, of course. This German Shepherd pup was found as a stray through MADACC, so his past is a bit of a mystery… but one thing is clear: this boy is ready to write a brand-new, much happier chapter. Just like his namesake, Dustin is smart, goofy, and endlessly lovable. He’s a classic GSD puppy through and through — eager to learn, quick to bond, and always up for an adventure. He’ll thrive with a family who understands the needs of a working-breed dog and can give him structure, guidance, and firm but fair boundaries as he grows. Dustin is playful, sweet, and gets along beautifully with other dogs. He’d also do well with respectful kiddos who can appreciate his energy and intelligence. With consistency and love, this boy is going to blossom into the kind of companion who’s loyal, devoted, and totally unforgettable. If you’re looking for your very own hero to bring home from the Upside Down, Dustin is ready to join your party. He just needs the right family to help him shine. *Dustin is available as a foster-to-adopt to a family within 30 min of Madison until his neuter is completed. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
4 years old (estimated) Spayed female 64lbs No known experience with other dogs, cats, or kids More information coming soon! The online adoption listing websites require that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of the dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.December 3, 2025, 4:08 pm
